What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Manufacturers in Hsinchu, Taiwan, have modernized rice noodle production, shifting from traditional manual wind-drying methods to machine-drying techniques introduced in the 1970s. This technological improvement allowed the industry to meet rising demand and facilitate expansion into overseas markets, including the US, Japan, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The innovative machines used by the producers have also attracted interest from foreign noodle manufacturers.
